“We should never refer to the physical virginity of the Virgin Mary”, Bishop Manuel Linda, 62, of Porto, Portugal, told observador.pt (December 23). For him the virginity “only” means “that woman’s total devotion to God”.
For Linda Our Lady became the mother of God because she had an "undivided heart.”
But the Catholic Church has taught from the beginning that Our Lady was a virgin before, during and after the birth of Christ.
Linda’s heresy produced an outrage in Portugal, and consequently he seemingly retracted saying in his Christmas homily that the Church’s faith in Our Lady's virginity “is also my faith”.
At least, Linda made clear to everybody that his words cannot be trusted and that he is not fit to be a Catholic bishop.

No one educated would recant his Mother!"
